Licence applications

For applicants and licensees, Philip advises on pre-application strategies, which are often important in avoiding later objections.

He will help to draft your application and suggest conditions to be offered.

He will handle objections and negotiations, prepare you for the hearing and then represent you at the hearing.

In reviews, he will work with you to mount a successful defence to the review, including negotiation strategies and the preparation of evidence, including expert evidence such as acousticians or surveyors.

For objectors, including community groups, he will help you plan your strategy and the best way of involving other potential objectors, draft your objection, prepare you for the hearing and then represent you at the hearing.

For licensing authorities, Philip acts as a legal advisor to the Committee in difficult and sensitive cases. In such cases, he will advise the Committee and help to draft the decision so that it is legally compliant.
